OpenContent Web Services: Separating the Application from the Software

Many organizations have custom web applications built to meet their diverse needs. Maintaining these applications during an upgrade or a software platform change can be challenging.

OpenContent Web Services provides the following benefits:

Simplified system upgrades
Easy enabling of repository communication on existing applications
Simplified development efforts
Isolation of repository specific interface components
Flexibility and reuse opportunities
